While the recipients were over-joyed, viewers suspect all is not what it seems. In fact, Twitter is speculating that the handshakes are all part of a plan to win them over following the big move from BBC.

One Twitter user suggests that the move to include two handshakes in just one episode was to suggest the Channel 4 bakers are much superior to those who appeared on the BBC.

I suspect Paul was asked to give a handshake if he could, to show us the bakers are as good as or better than the BBC's #GBBO bakers.
